m15 R6, thermal pads guide
Hi guys.
I'm changing the ssd and i had to get a new heatsink. This made me think. Do they come with Thermal pads and then lead to these questions. After some research, i can't find the info.
1. Wich size and wich brand thermal pads would you get for 2280 ssd?
2. Is there a easy way to thermal pad and heatsink the ram?
Thank you

Samsung on heatsinks for their products:
I received this info from Samsung Support when I queried my high temps:
A high drive temperature does not necessarily mean that the drive is faulty, especially if it is within the recommended temperature when used.
Please note that Samsung does not manufacture nor recommend the use of a third-party radiator or heatsink on its SSDs, since it is not necessary.
This is because the 970 EVO Plus has advanced thermal control solutions that enhance performance with reduced heat risk. Dynamic Thermal Guard (DTG) technology proactively prevents overheating, and a heat spreader with an integrated thin copper film dissipates heat more efficiently. Additionally, a nickel coating on the Phoenix controller also helps to dissipate heat faster during heavy workload use in order to ensure the high levels of quality and reliability.
You, therefore, do not need a radiator specifically for your SSD 970 EVO Plus.
Please be informed as well that using a heatsink on your SSD will require the peeling of the label on the drive. Removing the label on your drive will automatically void the drive’s warranty and warranty service will no longer be possible.
